I should like to cast my vote for Jamaica Inn as the site of our virtual
party. Since it is virtual, we need not worry about sufficient space for
all the participants as we neednt feel bound by the old physics axiom about
two things occupying the same space at the same time. We can all belly up to
the bar simultaneously if we so desire. We could have readings of Miss de
Mauriers novel during our various transportation events. I am sure there
are enough copies available among us for each of those.
Since my visits to Cornwall have usually been to Truro and westward, mostly
fishing villages, I have harbored a feeling that the northeast isnt quite
Cornish. I was pleasantly surprised during my last visit to discover the
Bodmin Moor and Launceston areas, which are indeed thoroughly Cornish. The
moor is not at all as I had envisioned it from my childhood reading of
Sherlock Holmes, but indeed an interesting and pleasant place, rather
unspoiled, perhaps because there is little provision made for parking cars.
Do we have a historian who has kept a list of sites weve already used for
our party? I remember a particularly delightful time at St. Michaels
Mount, and great fun at Mousehole, but I think there was at least one party
before I joined the list. I also have a vague recollection of someone left
hanging from a tower in Vancouver because her transport was delayed. We don
t seem to have those problems anymore. Carol in tower-less Maryland
